Timeline from the record
Newest first. Record entries come from the filings and reports the registry cites. Coverage entries are headlines from publisher feeds we monitor daily, linked to the outlet; last checked September 14, 2026.
- September 2025OperatingGreenidge sold the Columbus, MS facility (per the SEC/Business Wire sources, closed on or about 2025-09-16/17), but the 11 MW site itself did not go dark; it changed hands and is operating. LM Funding America, Inc. (now rebranded 'Power & Compute') announced closing its acquisition of the same 11 MW site plus ~7.5 MW / 157 PH/s of operating hashrate (~2,300 Bitmain S19-series miners) on 2025-09-18 for $4.0M total consideration, at power pricing of ~$0.036/kWh, with stated plans to fill the remaining ~3.5 MW. The site is operational under the new operator (LM Funding America, Inc. / Power & Compute), not cancelled. As of September 2026, both US Census and OSM Nominatim geocoding fail to resolve 249 Datco Industrial Road, so no independent coordinate correction is possible and the pin remains a city centroid.

Opposition and litigation at this site
Nothing on record as of October 29, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Columbus Bitcoin Mining Facility (formerly Greenidge Columbus) in Columbus, Lowndes County, Mississippi appears in the sources this registry tracks. That is an absence in our sources rather than a finding that none exists, and local opposition often predates any coverage a national dataset would pick up.
If you live near this site and something is happening that this page does not show, that is worth telling us. Send us the document and it goes in the record with the source attached. For sites where opposition is already established, see every contested site we track.
Notes on the record
12-acre parcel at 249 Datco Industrial Road, Columbus (Lowndes County), MS, bought April 2024 for $1.45M, announced Mar 11 2024 alongside the North Dakota lease. Built with Greenidge's modular 'Pod X' design; live July 1, 2024 (7 MW self-mining per SEC filings). Sold via APA (closed Sept 16, 2025) for $4.2M to US Digital Mining Mississippi LLC, a subsidiary of LM Funding America (Nasdaq: LMFA). Greenidge fully divested on 2025-09-16; the site did not go dark. LM Funding America, Inc. (since rebranded Power & Compute) closed its acquisition of the 11 MW site plus ~7.5 MW / 157 PH/s of operating hashrate on 2025-09-18 for $4.0M, and the facility is operational under that operator. The record was renamed and the operator updated on 2026-09-13 to match; the id is unchanged. (Greenidge separately still owns an UNRELATED 34-acre Columbus greenfield site for a future AI/HPC datacenter - not this record.)

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
